Sorry Sam WhiteKnight and SpaceShipOne are pretty well known here in SoCal
Scaled Composites LLC isn't that far from here.
Here's my easy one:

What Aircraft does this "kit" assemble into ?

Hi Chuck

It's odd... there's no sign of a fuselage or tail in there... I wonder what it could be?...



All the best

Perhaps a Boeing B-49 (retired)?

Though those of us who have a passion for them don't think of the Flying Wings as Boeing products, today they are listed as such.

Right on Nige, that's the remains of a Northrop B-49, on the scrap heap, after they were ordered to be destroyed.

Over to you, Nige, for the next question.

Sam's guess was a good one based on the tail cone that is visible.

Rowan, you know me too well !!

Hi there

That squared-off cockpit does look like a de Havilland - so how about just a plane Moth?

All the best

Hi Samantha

LOL! I think we need another clue! None of the cockpits I've looked at photos of have matched - which probably just means I'm thinking far too hard and making it more difficult than it need be!

All the best
